Canning Week Wrap Up

c

Did you know that August is National Canning Month? And did you know that Ball celebrated it's anniversary this week? Gee, it's almost like we planned this or something!

It sure has been a great week! We're so glad everyone joined in on the fun. We had lots of great recipes you all shared with everyone. The canning post contest winner is over at Ott,A's page. Congrats to everyone who entered. Whether you're an old pro or a canning newbie, I hope everyone was able to find some useful information here. We'll keep the Facebook page up as a resource for everyone and future Canning Weeks (do I see a sequel coming??).

We had over 300 entries for the fabulous giveaways! And I know you're all waiting for the winners to be announced, so here they are:

Speaking of Ball, our daughter worked at Ball State University while her husband was a grad student there. When I told one of my friends that they were at Ball State and lived in Muncie, IN - she said, 'Yeah, that's where they made Kerr jars, isn't it?' LOL

It's amazing what comes out of people's mouths sometimes! I went to Ball State and a lot of my family still lives in Muncie. I remember freshman orientation when they spent almost 2 hours talking about the Ball brothers. Every time I can, I have a mild flashback to that day!

I didn't get to try canning this year, but maybe next year. I have enjoyed seeing everyone's photos of their canning goodies on all the differnt blogs out there!~Kimberleewww.TheSpunkyDiva.blogspot.com

Thanks for the cookbook Jen...can't wait to try out some of the recipes. I'm so proud of you for embarking on this canning adventure! I'm sure the canning kit will come in handy, too. With love, your "Forever 29" Mom
